/ The Voyage / A day IN the life
Every day on board Young Endeavour is different, depending on where you are sailing, the weather, and the stage of the youth development program. You’ll spend several days and nights at sea learning to sail and joining activities on deck. During time at anchor you might rest or go ashore. One thing you can rely on: you’ll make memories that will last a lifetime.
